When I dated my now ex, she was at the time the most attractive woman I had ever dated. She was about an 8/10. Now, I see her as being lss attractive physically than I used to, partly because of her past actions, and partly because my standards have risen, and now I see myself as deserving 9s and 10s as much as I deserve any other level of attractiveness, so 8 isn't as impressive to me anymore.
But, when I left her, there was definitely a feeling of "I hope that she wasn't the most attractive woman I'll ever be able to date."
Now I know my future wife probably won't be stunningly beautiful, although she'll be exceptionally physically attractive. But I also know now, that I can and will date and sleep with 9s and 10s before I marry her.
It was partly a joke to say that about it being a letdown, because when you find the right woman, the majority of the value and attraction isn't from physical features. But if you have dated the most physically attractive woman in the world... your standards rise to meet your circumstances... and at that point, you expect to be dating only 10's. 6-7-8-9 probably isn't going to be quite good enough, if you're as particular as you seem to be... I know I am significantly less responsive to 8's now than I used to be.
